Well, I suppose if CUSMA blows up we can do what we want.

I think it has to do with the stock market too?

their schedules are more different than alike. Different holidays. Different pre-market and post-market hours. Many different rules.

Some equities trade on half a dozen exchanges. Around the world.

There's no need to close markets on any particular timing now. They used to be closed on Fridays so they'd have 3 full days to do paper reconciliation. Now everything is in realtime.
